Answer to Question 1

An increase in the future expected interest rate will cause a reduction in the present value of future disposable income and, therefore, human wealth. This causes current C to decrease and the IS curve to shift left. The increase in the future expected rate will also cause a reduction in the present value of future profits. This will cause a reduction in investment and another leftward shift in the IS curve. The LM curve will not be affected.

Answer to Question 2

D
